. . . there has been much talk about ralph lauren‘s new flagship store in the quartier latinon the left bank in paris: housed in an 18th-century city mansion across the boulevard saint-germain from the café de flore, it was built on the foundations of an old monastery and completed in 1754; over the centuries, it has been a private home, the dutch embassy, the carnegie foundation for international peace, and, most recently, a government office building
through the carriage entrance and cobblestone courtyard is where you will find ralph‘s, the shop’s polo-chic restaurant with tables in the old stables, {in the summertime, the courtyard}; there is a bar in the old tack room, and the place is enveloped in warm wood and leather chairs; here, you will find a menu of american classics — new england clam chowder and maryland style lump crab cakes, crispy southern fried chicken, and, of course, seared double RL ranch steak . . .
{p.s.} previous at the shops:
* neology by mina, brooklyn
* mrs. press, australia
* rothschild & bickers, uk
* billy bride, australia
* satomi kawakita, new york

had the pleasure of eating on the terrace this summer…had the ralphs burger and santa barbara salad (YAY for my hometown!) it was delicious but you know the best thing of all there is not the american food but the AMERICAN SERVICE that you just don’t find elsewhere in Paris :-)
